Who are Dental Implants for?
Patients with gappy or crooked teeth are ideal candidates for dental implants as one of the most common and popular treatments for replacing missing teeth.
When you visit us for your initial consultation, we will first examine the structure of your mouth and bone dentistry to decide whether or not bone augmentation treatment will be necessary before going ahead with dental implants. Call our expertly trained team of dental professionals at Westbury Dental Care today on 020 8942 8943 or use our contact form to get in touch!

Can anyone have implants?
Most patients will be suitable for dental implants but this will largely depend on the quality of your jaw bone. Your dentist will carefully investigate and plan your case and if there is insufficient bone, they will graft bone to the site. Having missing teeth does not automatically qualify someone to have dental implants and good general and oral health is needed.
The vast majority of our patients who choose to have dental implants with Westbury Dental Care are healthy adults with fully developed and stagnant gums. Dental implants are rarely suitable for younger children as underlying bones are still growing at this stage.

FAQs
Placement is usually carried out under local anaesthesia. During the surgery, the local anaesthesia eliminates all discomfort. After the surgery, there will be some discomfort, swelling and bruising which is normally controlled with over the counter medication. It’s highly liked that we will need you to visit our practice two times to complete full treatment’ the first being to fit the implant and then a follow-up appointment to fit the new tooth into the implant. Here at Westbury Dental Care, we are very flexible with our appointments and always try our best to cater to your busy schedule and requirements.
We use a range of different implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Astra). Each case is different and your dentist will discuss the best option with you. Each type of dental implant has its advantages with all implants made to be resistant to pressures.
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and restore your smile back to its best. In the implant itself, there will not be any feeling of such but you may sense tingling in the gum areas where the dental implant has been placed. Dental implants are designed to be implanted like normal teeth but it may take between 1-2 weeks after the treatment before this is the case.
